I remember back in elementary school the books that every student was reading were the Goosebumps books. Everyone wanted to read more of them than anyone and faster than anyone.
For the past few years The Harry Potter Series has been what kids (and some grown ups) use to "compete". Kids would be like "I read HP 6 in 2 days!" "Oh yeah, I read it in 1 day!" I was wondering what everyone else thinks of this "reading to compete" thing. I think that reading for whatever reason is a good thing, but this bothers me a bit.
Any one know what I'm talking about?
